So Miss A has this new thing she's doing. Often when going up or down stairs she stops and says she needs to do "The Sun". At first I didn't know what the HECK she was talking about until she started going up on her bum and singing the song seen here and especially seen at 2:24. It's official, I've given birth to the strangest and cutest kid ever. I wonder what the next one will be like.
Along with all the dancing Miss A has been doing lately. There has also been singing. She attempts to sing almost anything. And especially likes a big finish. As in, yelling the end of a song. For those of you familiar with the Elmo's World theme song, here is her version.
“La la la LA! La la la LA! (mumblemumble) weerld.
(Repeat)
(mumblemumblemumble) FISH! (mumblemumble) TOO!!!
Dats (mumblemumble) WEERLD!!!”
Performed with lots of nodding. We have captured this on video and I hope to get it on to youtube in the next while. It is really priceless.
She has also been attempting the A,B,C's and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
Something else she's been doing that totally cracks me up is this. When she wants one of us to sing Old MacDonald has a Farm she yells “Cow!” repeatedly until we start singing. And when we are singing it she yells out animals names before you are done one line. For instance...
“And on that farm he had a cow, eeii, eeii, oohh! With a...” And the whole time she'll be saying “Pig? Pig? Pig? Pig?” Until you sing the “on that farm he had a pig” then she'll start saying “Horsie? Horsie? Horsie?” You get the idea. It's so funny. I'm hoping we can capture this on film as well.
I am finding her to be such a blast right now. She has personality oozing out of every pore. Every night Peter and I find ourselves talking about all the funny things she says and does. Or we just imitate her to make each other laugh. I hope we never take for granted how much joy she bring into our lives.
I don't know if you all know my blogging friend Bon. She has had a rough time lately. But recently has some things to celebrate. Like sleeping in her own bed again. It got me thinking. What could I do, way over here in Canada to welcome her home? And then it occurred to me. I could sing!
Peter and I stayed up ridiculously late singing, filming and editing this crazy video. There are some pretty funny parts. Like in the middle I say 'blah, blah' when there's no singing. Sorry the audio isn't very good. Turns out the microphone that comes with the game must suck. It sounded good to us through the camera but then when we hooked 'er up I was all quiet sounding. Maybe that's not such a bad thing. Hope you like it anyway.
So here goes. Bon, this is for you baby!
